Episode Details

What if bad management isn't a personality problem but a production problem? We dig into the data from Gallup, the CMI, and ADP showing that 50-70% of managers are rated ineffective by their teams, 82% are promoted without training, and the same three complaints appear in every country. The episode traces how promotion pipelines, authority gaps, and structural incentives systematically produce bad bosses at industrial scale — and why the fix is known but rarely applied.
